Chamber Member Update

Boynton Beach, FL (Grassroots Newswire) October 2, 2020 The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged business owners and homeowners alike to find ways to live and work without exposing themselves or others to this highly contagious virus. Now, the approaching flu season is set to complicate that challenge even further. To help control the threat that the one-two punch of COVID-19 and the seasonal flu presents, SERVPRO professional cleaning specialists in the Boynton Beach area urge everyone to be extra vigilant about following cleaning and disinfecting protocols this year.

Scientists at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)1 believe both COVID-19 and the seasonal flu spread primarily by droplets made when infected people cough, sneeze, or talk. While not as frequent, it is also believed adults and children can contract COVID-19 or the flu by touching a surface or an object that has virus particles on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or eyes. The CDC continues to recommend a yearly flu vaccine as the first and most important step in protecting against flu viruses, but experts also emphasize the importance of cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces daily to help mitigate the potential spread from contaminated surfaces. This includes tables, doorknobs, light switches, countertops, handles, desks, phones, keyboards, toilets, faucets, and sinks.

To limit exposure and control the spread of these double threats, SERVPRO cleaning specialists recommend that you wash your hands frequently with soap and water or use a hand sanitizer that is at least 60 percent alcohol, keep your hands away from your face, and wear a mask to protect others. For effective daily, routine cleaning at home or at work, they recommend first removing surface grime and dirt with soap and water, then following up with a disinfectant. Its easier to feel comfortable about limiting exposure at home where you can control how clean your surroundings are, said Rick Isaacson, CEO of Servpro Industries, LLC. Its more difficult out in public; but this year especially, its important to be aware of the space youre in. You need to learn to recognize spaces where cleaning is or is not a priority so you can adjust your behavior accordingly.

For those home and business owners who have specialized cleaning requirements or who simply want the peace of mind that a professional cleaning service can offer in this stressful time, SERVPRO can help. While we remain a leader in disaster cleanup and remediation situations, we also provide that same deeper level of clean for everyday residential and commercial cleaning said Isaacson. In addition, SERVPRO offers their Certified: SERVPRO Cleaned2 program, developed for businesses in response to the pandemic. The high level of confidence that a professionally cleaned space provides offers welcome reassurance to patrons as the flu season intersects with COVID-19.

SERVPRO specializes in disaster restoration, cleanup, and repair services, helping to remediate damage, making it Like it never even happened for both commercial and residential customers.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESSWIRE / October 5, 2020 / Action 1 Restoration is pleased to announce the launch of their newly redesigned website. This is in keeping with their desire to be a company that is always progressive and strives to give their customers the best possible experience when working with them. The main focus of the new website was to make it as user friendly as possible and to provide potential customers with many useful resources. This reputable New York-based restoration company has assembled teams of the best contractors from coast to coast that are ready to respond quickly to any type of water, storm, or fire damage situations.

The company's CEO, Eduardo Sapp, says, "We are always looking for ways to improve our services and to enhance our customers' experience with us. A big part of that is having a modern website that's easy to navigate around and gets people quickly to the exact information on our company that they are interested in. That's why we made redesigning our website over the last few months a huge priority for us here at Action 1 Restoration. We are extremely pleased with the way that our redesigned website turned out and we believe our customers will be too."

Sapp went on to say that all of their emergency restoration services are explained in more detail than ever before on the newly redesigned website. He gave as an example their water damage restoration services. There is now an entire webpage dedicated to this aspect of the business that discusses how the contractors that work with Action1Restoration are experts when it comes to water removal & extraction and how they use sophisticated equipment to handle such steps as drying & dehumidification. The company CEO says that this dedicated section also talks about how they can perform emergency restoration services after everything from the smallest residential to the largest commercial water damage events. It even provides some helpful DIY tips that home and business owners can do before they arrive to help minimize water damage. The new website goes into this same sort of detail on their fire damage, storm damage, and mold remediation web pages too.

One thing that's also strongly emphasized on the new website is how fast that Action 1 Restoration responds to emergencies when called upon for help. Sapp says there is nothing more important to minimizing damage from such events as storms and flooding situations than responding quickly to the situation. He says that's because the more time that structures and their contents are exposed to water and other elements the harder it is to reverse the impact of these things to properly restore someone's property and possessions. They even make themselves available 24/7, 365 to respond promptly to their customers' requests for help. The new website explains how their highly skilled emergency restoration crews often arrive in as little as thirty minutes to a job site.

According to the company CEO, another highlight of the new website is its recent Action 1 Restoration news section. This can be found towards the bottom of the homepage. The articles the company posts here talk about such things as damage minimizing steps that customers can do themselves and other damage restoration-related news. Examples of titles of the articles in the recent news section include Water Damaged Subfloor: How to Dry Out and Replace', Why Sewers Backup: Common Causes, Prevention and What to Do', and How to Thaw Frozen Pipes: Burst Pipe Prevention Steps'. There is even a section of the newly launched website that discusses how those at Action 1 Restoration can help their customers with any insurance claims that they are submitting.

For those that are wondering if Action 1 Restoration services their area, there is also a map that can be accessed for this under the contact' heading on the new website homepage. This map shows all 50 states. A potential customer just has to click on their state. This will, in turn, bring up a webpage with all the necessary contact information on Action 1 Restoration's service providers in that particular state.

In Magic: The Gathering, there are many ways to divide thegame's vast wealth of content into various categories. The color pie is a good start, but there are also diverse formats such as Commander, Standard, booster draft Limited, Modern, Legacy, Pauper, Cube and more.Plus, there are also broad archetypes for how decks operate, regardless of format or color.

These archetypes include aggro, the cheap and fast one, as well as control, the slow one that dominates the late game. Combo and tempo decks are different, and midrange decks actas the meeting ground between more specialized deck types. A midrange deck isn't flashy, but it can be reliable and will have few major weaknesses. Midrange decks can handle any other archetype and stand a fair chance of winning.

RELATED: Magic: The Gathering - How to BEAT An Affinity Deck

Unlike the other archetypes for Constructed decks, midrange decks do not focus all of their efforts into one extreme area. An aggro deck wants to attack with cheap, fast creatures and use removal spells to win fast or not win at all, while a control deck wants to drag the game out and win via unstoppable finishers and accrued card advantage. Acombo deck wants to set off an infinite combo to win the game around turn four, and protect that combo with counter-magic and other defenses.

A midrange deck can't beat any of those decks at their own game. In exchange, a midrange deck can do a bit of everything, and it won't completely fold to a certain strategy or deck type. Midrange decks diversify their portfolios. For example, a midrange deck is capable of going on the offensive early on and putting pressure on the opponent, and thus it becomes "on the beatdown" while the opponent must try to survive somehow.

Related:Magic: The Gathering - Zendikar Rising's White-Blue Draft Archetype, Explained

Midrange decks have creatures all over the CMC spectrum, and they can cast efficient creatures in the first four turns and attack with them slowly but surely. Midrange decks have some aggro elements, but unlike true aggro decks, they can go long and don't run out of gas, and their cards are nearly as good in the late game as the early game.

Midrange decks lack the unstoppable finishers of control, but their cards do scale well to the late game and stay relevant, especially their creatures and planeswalkers (if any). A midrange deck is rarely more than the sum of its parts, but those individual parts work well either together or alone, meaning midrange decks avoid the main weakness of combo and control decks.

Midrange decks don't have to play their cards "in order" or have the perfect opening hand. A combo deck that's missing one or two vital cards is helpless, and a control deck that can't find its finisher is going in circles. But midrange decks can always do something with the cards they have on hand. Put another way, such decks simply choose their color(s), then include the best cards of those colors. For that reason, generalist midrange decks like these are informally known as "good-stuff" decks.

RELATED: Magic: The Gathering - How to Build an Eldrazi Tron Deck

For many years, midrange decks have made their presence known in all major formats of Magic: The Gathering. In fact, it can be said that any deck which doesn't conform to the style of aggro, combo or control is, by default, a midrange deck.

Jund is a powerful midrange deck in the Modern format.Thanks to its colors, it has some aggro potential with efficient creatures like Tarmogoyf and Bloodbraid Elf, but it also has control elements with Thoughtseize, Lightning Bolt, Liliana of the Veil and Abrupt Decay.However, it lacks the counter-magic or late-game finishers of true control, and it doesn't have as many speedy, cheap creatures like a true aggro deck. Instead, it comfortably sits in the middle of that spectrum, and it can handle practically anything the opponent can throw at it.

Related:Magic: The Gathering - The Desert Plane of Amonkhet, Explained

On the defensive, Jund can block with disposable creatures or use removal, and on the offensive, Tarmogoyf and Scavenging Ooze can hit hard,while Lightning Bolt can finish off the opponent's life points soon after that. Jund's hand control gives it some potency against true combo and control decks, too. It can even put pressure on the opponent's graveyard to slow down graveyard-oriented decks.

In the mid-2010s or so, there was another powerful Modern midrange deck: Abzan Good-Stuff. It was a variant of Jund, sharing its green and black cards while swapping red for white. This deck had Lingering Souls to create flying blockers and attackers, and it had Loxodon Smiter as a 4/4 for just 1GW that was immune to counterspells and hand control. This deck also used Kitchen Finks, which could gain life and was potent as an attacker and blocker. Birds of Paradise was a flying mana dork for this deck.

Standard usually has its share of midrange decks. Such decks have two or three colors and are, by default, any deck that doesn't fit the other major archetypes. During the era of Theros-Khans of Tarkir, for example, there was a green/red/X midrange shell that included Courser of Kruphix, Sylvan Caryatid, Xenagos the Reveler, Polukranos World Eater, Stormbreath Dragon and more. White mana could add Ajani, Mentor of Heroes and Fleecemane Lion, and blue mana added Temur-colored cards such as Surrak Dragonclaw. Abzan midrange was common, too.

All aboard! Below Deck and its spinoff series have never failed to bring the drama to Bravo fans everywhere since the franchise launched.

The original series premiered in July 2013, documenting the daily lives of crew members on luxurious yachts during charter season. At the time, Bravo revealed that the first season averaged over 1 million viewers per episode, making it a simple decision to branch off into two more series: Below Deck Mediterranean and Below Deck Sailing Yacht.

With each season, the crew members personal lives have begun to cross over into their work lives, leading to shocking reality TV romances, breakups, firings and dramatic exits. In February 2020, longtime Below Deck personality Kate Chastain announced that she would finally be heading back to dry land after six seasons on the ocean.

After many months of reflection and internal discussions, I have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new land based role. I intend to step back as a senior member of the Below Deck Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support His Majesty Andy Cohen, she teased via Instagram as she stepped down from her position as part of reality TV royalty.

Seven months later, Chastain admitted that she might not be ready to say goodbye to Bravo forever.

I dont know that I would like to do a show like Summer House, she told Decider during a September 2020 tell-all interview. I would love to be a New York Housewife because of Sonja [Morgan] alone. Sonja is a national treasure to be protected at all costs. I want to just be Sonjas intern for a day. That is on my bucket list. I need the full experience. I love her so much, I would do that.

While some cast members have left on their own terms, others have had the decision made for them. On season 5 of Below Deck Mediterranean, chief stewardess Hannah Ferrier was fired after a coworker reported her for having Valium on the yacht. After the drama went down, Captain Sandy Yawn told E! News that she has no regrets about the firing.

Imagine walking in my shoes, it was challenging, she said. The Maritime industry has a certain standard My No. 1 priority is the client.

Rob Westergaard is paying tribute to his late mother on the ninth anniversary of her passing. The Below Deck Mediterranean cast member posted an emotional message in memory of his mom, who passed away of liver failure after struggling with alcoholism.

In the touching tribute, Rob shared a sweet photo of his mom smiling. Alongside the image, he wrote in part, 9 years ago today this beautiful creature, my mom aka 'little troublemaker'embarked on that journey elsewhere. Not a day goes by that I dont think about her or speak to her.

Rob went on to open up about how his mom continues to serve as a guide for him, explaining,When I have to make life decisions I ask for the affirmation if Im on the right path and if I am, I either see frogs or butterflies.

He concluded the moving message by writing, I know you are with me on my journey and I will forever be grateful for the roles you played and continue to play in my life! To live in the hearts of those we leave behind is not to die. Im sending love and light to all those people who have lost loved ones.

Earlier on this season of Below Deck Med, Rob opened up about the loss of his mother while marking his 10 years of sobriety.

"I wanted to protect her. I wanted to help her. I couldn't. I miss her a lot. That gave me strength, her dying gave me strength to continue, to be sober, to hopefully have a family. Give them what I never had," he said during an interview in the July 6 episode. "So, it gave me power. It gives me strength because I don't want to do that. I don't want to repeat that pattern."

Rob Westergaard Pays Tribute to His Late Mom on the Anniversary of Her Passing - Bravo

Tipalti, an Israeli payment automation firm, announced on Tuesday that it has raised over $150 million in funding based on an evaluation of $2.05 billion. The companys founder shared with us the pitch deck they used, and helped them raise the funds in just four days.

Chen Amit, the companys founder and CEO, told Haaretzs sister publication TheMarker that he met Henry Ellenbogen from Durable Capital Partners, which led the latest funding round, over a Zoom meeting three weeks ago. After Ellenbogen saw Tipaltis deck, within four days he got back to us with the money - Ive never had such a quick fundraising round.

For the full PowerPoint Presention, click here

According to Amit, he presented the deck to a dozen investors. The investors who moved forward with Tipalti, he says, made specific requests for him to elaborate on some of the details provided. For example, some wanted to know more about their sales and marketing plans, while others wanted to meet the R&D team, Chen says.

This is our fifth fundraising round, Chen explains. During the last two rounds, the deck was a lot more numbers driven, because the numbers tell the whole story and theres no need to embellish. I present the growth in our revenues, the organic growth with our existing clients, our rate of retention, the state of our competitors and the state of the market - too many words could only do harm.

However, for this deck, Chen used what he calls a shock and awe strategy. The goal was to win the fight with one knock-out punch. I tried to get our entire message across in the first slide, to knock them off their chairs from the beginning - and only then delve into the actual numbers to underscore our story and help build confidence in it.

This is especially true during this period, in which all presentations are done via Zoom and you need people to stay with you throughout the entire duration of the presentation, he said.

The current round of funding also included Greenoaks Capital as well its existing investor 01 Advisors, which belongs to former Twitter CEO Dick Costolo. Amit says all of the capital raised will go directly to the companys coffers - with no secondary sale. It brings the overall investment in the company to $265 million, with another $23 in debt.

All aboard! The cast ofBelow Deckand its spinoff series will do just about anything for love or at least to have a fun crew hookup.

After seven seasons of the Bravo series with more than 100 episodes there have been plenty of romances to watch unfold. Add in theBelow Deck Mediterraneanflings andBelow Deck Sailing Yachtrelationships and viewers have a lot to keep up with.

While some relationships have outlasted the high seas, includingSailing YachtsPaget BerryandCiara Duggan, who got engaged in July 2020, others crashed and burned.

Below DecksRocky DakotaandEddie Lucasserved as the guideline for crew members of what not to do while yachting. Chief StewardessKate Chastainrevealed on the BravosDaily Dishin January 2020 that the season 3 secret hookup ruined it for everyone moving forward.

This is why we cant have nice things, Eddie and Rocky, she quipped. I think it was short-lived, but a great time was had by all.

CaptainLee Rosbachweighed in on the dramatic relationship Eddie cheated on his girlfriend with Rocky saying, that wasnt a romance.

Although Rocky and Eddies time together was rough for many on board the ship, the next season broughtBen RobinsonandEmily Warburton-Adams sweet relationship. The couple lasted a while onshore as well, but ultimately ended called it quits in 2017.
